This automobile has lots of character. Definate English design and feel. Had some mechanical problems, however, the dealership was very accommodating in correcting problems and providing alternative transportation when necessary.

Best SUV Around

This has been one of the best vehicles I have ever driven. True it is slow, but there is no equal off road. This was my first car which I bought with 80,000 miles on it. Since then I have put 10,000 miles on it and haven't had any problems. This thing will go anywhere in style. I have the best car in school. A real head turner.

Had silly problems when I got it like windows and seat buttons I drive it daily as well as plow snow with it (have a western 7 foot uni mount plow on her) I eventually had to rip thru the cooling system upgraded water pump thermostat etc also upgraded the transmission oil cooler to one about 3 times the size as a stick one ( to compensate the fact it's pushing heavy snow and I tow alot with it ) for the most part it's a tank and eats gas but it's so bad ass I don't care I drive it everywhere on and off road 172,358 miles on it at moment trans shifts as smooth as butter occasionally she don't like to start up for some reason but I have ether for times like that

Buyer Beware!

I feel like a fool! We should have known when it took 15 days for the dealer to deliver. We went back 3 times for bubbling paint. During the first 90 days, it was in the shop for 67 days. The transmission clunked, the check engine light was continuosly on, the cruise control broke twice, the muffler system was replaced front to back ($5000 in parts), 3/4 oxygen sensors went right after one another - I guess, in summary, the vehicle was a lemon. We regret our purchase and warn everyone that we know to warn everyone that they know. This should be your second (or third) vehicle since it will spend more time in the garage than on the road!
